YEREVAN. May 3 (Interfax) - Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said he would be pleased to have the opportunity to sign a document with Azerbaijan.
If there is an opportunity to sign a document, I would be glad," Pashinyan said during a government hour in parliament on Wednesday.
He said the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding talks in Washington, and "there is a document on the negotiating table." "There is nothing new in this document, there is nothing that I haven't said publicly," Pashinyan said.
He noted that he would refrain from any assessment of the talks, as any statements could affect their course.
"I instructed our negotiators, I said that I will sign a document which you negotiate, and so [I'll] let you negotiate freely and based on our public opinions. But that does not mean that new ideas may emerge during the talks," Pashinyan said.
Talks between Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov continued for a third day in the United States on Wednesday.
The head of the Armenian parliament's permanent commission on European integration, Arman Yeghoyan, told reporters on Tuesday that the talks between Mirzoyan and Bayramov would continue for several days because of the voluminous and substantive subject matter of the talks.
The head of the Armenian parliament's permanent foreign affairs commission, Sargis Khandanyan, told reporters on Wednesday that it was unlikely any document would be signed following the ministerial talks.
